See explanation for answer

Explanation:

First, let's write the equation again:

PCl5 <> PCl3 + Cl2      Kc = 1.8

The expression for equilibrium is the following:

Kc = [PCl3] [Cl2] / [PCl5]

We only know the data for PCl5 at the beggining, and to solve this, we need to write what happens before and after the reaction.

At first, we only have the 0.342 moles of PCl5 and nothing of the products. This is logic, because there is no reaction yet.

Concentration of PCl5 at this point (With a volume of 3.65 L) is:

[PCl5] = 0.342 / 3.65 = 0.094 M

Keep in mind, that this is not the concentration in equlibrium. This is only the concentration at the beggining. To know it's concentration in equilibrium, we'll do the following:

       PCl5 <> PCl3 + Cl2      Kc = 1.8

i)      0.094                  0        0

eq)   0.094 - x             x        x

Now, we will replace this values in the equilibrium equation:

1.8 = x * x / 0.094 - x

Solving for x we have:

1.8(0.094 - x) = x²

0.1692 - 1.8x = x²

x² + 1.8x - 0.1692 = 0

Using the general equation for x we have:

x = -1.8 ± √(1.8)² - 4 * 1 * (-0.1692) / 2

x = -1.8 ± √3.9168 / 2

x = -1.8 ± 1.98 / 2

x1 = -1.8 + 1.98 / 2 = 0.09

x2 = -1.8 - 1.98 / 2 = -1.89

This means that the value of x is 0.09 therefore, the concentrations in equilibrium for each species is:

[PCl5] = 0.094 - 0.09 = 0.04 M

[PCl3] = [Cl2] = 0.09 M

to be fair, you have to have a very high iq to understand rick and morty. the humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. there's also rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from narodnaya volya literature, for instance. the fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about life. as a consequence people who dislike rick & morty truly are idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in rick's existential catchphrase "wubba lubba dub dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to turgenev's russian epic fathers and sons. i'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as dan harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. what fools.. how i pity them.

and yes, by the way, i do have a rick & morty tattoo. and no, you cannot see it. it's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 iq points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. nothin personnel kid
